Functions of PAC in 1944 Campaign
Explained by Daniel in War Assembly
Peace and Economic Security
Cardinal Concern of PAC
For Future
Goodhart, October 17. "The par-
amount issue of this campaign is
neither domestic nor foreign af-
fairs, but the philosophy of gov-
ernment," declared Franz Daniel,
> Chairman of the Philadelphia Po-
litical Action Committee, who dis-
cussed The PAC and the 1944 Elec-
tions at the first of two political
assemblies.
In 1920, Harding pleaded for a
return to 'normaley'�that is, put-
ting an end to organized labor and
removing restrictions on business
profits, Mr. Daniel said. Through-
out the Harding-Coolidge-Hoover
era this philosophy of government
predominated. It collapsed in 1929.
Wfith the 1932 election, a differ-
ent attitude developed in Washing-
ton. Unions were respected, pro-
visions were made for saving of
homes through the FHA, and job
losses of the depression were as-
suaged.
When a reactionary Congress
began, in 1942, to fight progress-
ive measures, labor decided to take
a part in politics as well as in ec-
onomics. The PAC which was
formed, represents a new purpose
in labor organization. "No long-
er do we, to the exclusion of other
groups, want representation. We
don't want special privileges�our
good is society's good," Mr. Daniel
stated.
The PAC cannot nominate or
Jefeat a man, he continued, but
�an only express the majority
jpinion and backing. The people
themselves do the electing.
The labor movement agrees with
.he law prohibiting the use of
union funds in a national election.
But this makes it necessary for
the PAC to depend on individual
contributions, not solicited by coer-
cion, Mr. Daniel said. The organi-
zation creates no "slush fund;"

Campus Comment
The PAC issue brought
forth the season's' record assem-
bly. The audience reacted
more than usual. Numerous
questions from the floor, rang-
ed from how much money the
PAC spent in the Alabama
election to whether Mr. Daniel
thought Congress would be
Democratic this year. The dis-
cussion which followed was at-
tended by about twenty people,
many more than were present
the previous week. Mr. Daniels
answered questions with notable
calm and care and no heated ar-
guments arose.
Favorable opinion was ex-
pressed by many students. They
felt that Mr. Daniels had
achieved a great deal by stick-
ing to "calm, rational ground,"
and had definitely helped to
clarify an otherwise foggy is-
sue. His impartiality on a very
controversial subject received
praise, as well as his willing-
ness to answer questions fully.
A considerable number of
students, however, felt that Mr.
Daniel's approach was logically
unsound. Some of his facts
were challenged, especially on
the matter of the funds spent
by the P.A.C. in this campaign
and the strictly voluntary do-
nation of one dollar by every
CIO member. Mr. Daniel was
also criticized for lack of speci-
fic political information.
Nearly everybody objected to
the display of posters on Good-
hart stage, and many resented
being handed pamphlets at the
door.
Latin Play Promises
Spontaneous Comedy
An undergraduate English ver-
sion of the Menaechmi by Plautus
will be presented in Goodhart
by the Latin department on Octo-
ber 28. The theme of this play is
familiar to almost everyone�
whether as such, as transcribed
in Shakespeare's Comedy of Er-
rors or as rendered in Broadway's
comedy, The Boys from Syracuse.
Bryn Mawr's production, direct-
ed by Mrs. Michels, Assistant
Professor of Latin, has been giv-
en the name Double Trouble, and
will be characterized by its im-
promptu spirit. The Latin play
tradition was revived last spring
after a three-year lapse, with The
Rope, also by Plautus. Costumes
are hereditary.
The present version was trans-
lated by Elizabeth Dowling, '47.
The cast is as follows: Menaech-
mus I: Mary Lou Miles, '45;
Mentaechmus II, Alison Merrill
'45; Erotium, Betty Myers '47;
Messinio, Elizabeth Dowling '47;
Prologue, Charlotte Rider '47;

350 Give Reactions
To New Cut Systems
In an effort to gauge student
opinion on the new plan for at-
tendance at classes, the Curriculum
Committee conducted a poll in a
startlingly efficient manner on
Tuesday evening. 350 students
registered varying reactions to
the four questions.:
The poll was as follows:
1. How do you expect the pres-
ent plan would effect you?
A. Not at all�80%.
B. By restricting slightly the
number of cuts you would
would want "to take�20%.
C. By restricting greatly the
number of cuts you would
want to take�0%.
2. How would you like records
kept?
A. Posting in Taylor�17%.
B. Posting in individual halls�
43%.
C. By consulting with the hall
representative who would
have complete records�1%.
D. Individual cut cards in cam-
pus mail as before�40%.
3. What do you think a satisfac-
tory trial period?
A. One year�75%.
B. One semester�25%. ,
4. Do you feel you know where
you stand with "excessive cut-
ting?"
A. Yes�96%.
B. No�5%.
If not, why not?
It is notable that to the first
question 97% of the 60 Seniors
who answered expected the present
plan not to affect them at all. The

Dean Grant Explains
Viewpoint of Faculty
On New Cut System
Goodhart, October 16. "Regular
attendance at classes is still con-
sidered the rule for the usual
student," declared Dean Grant at
an assembly arranged to permit
the faculty to present its opinion
poncerning the cut system to the
student body.
Dean Grant outlined the new
plan as it will be put into effect
Monday, October 23, and explain-
ed the purpose behind each of the
points. The reason for taking at-
tendance this year is to permit
the Dean's Office to detect those
who are cutting excessively before
their case has become so serious
that they are in danger of being
suspended from college.
Records
In accordance with the plan,
the cut records will be compiled
by the first Sophomore member
of the Undergraduate Association,
and these records will be sent to
the Dean's Office, the instructor
of the class, and will be posted so
that students may receive an im-
mediate warning in the event of
overcutting and so that any errors
may be reported immediately.
Those who overcut will be warn-
ed by the Dean's Office, and Dean
Grant recommended that anyone
receiving one of these notices
come to see her immediately. The
faculty do not want to define ex-
cessive cutting conclusively, but
those who had no trouble under
the old system of limited cuts
should not be faced with ' any
problem now. It is recommended
that students limit overnight ab-
sence from the halls to weekends,
unless they can furnish the Dean's
Office with urgent reasons for
this absence. Also the total num-
ber of cuts taken will be consid-
ered before warning is given for
excessive cutting in one particular
course. However, any student
who persists in cutting after she
has been warned by the Dean'6
Office will be dropped from the
course, and when a student has
been dropped from two such

League. Drive Solicits
'$8.75MinimumPledge
Aiming at a minimum contribu-
tion of $8.75 per student, the an-
nual Activities Drive will start
its campaign for pledgee on Wed-
nesday night or Thursday. $1.25
of each contribution will be given
to the War Chest, thus avoiding
two drives on campus.
Interest sheets which describe
the League activities will be dis-
tributed with the pledge cards.
The Bryn Mawr Summer Camp,
the Hudson Shore Labor School,
the Players Club, the Refugee
Scholarship Fund, and the main-
tenance of the League are pro-
vided for by the League's funds.
Students may designate on the
back of the interest sheets how
they want their War Chest money
Jistributed.
Marian Moise, '47, chairman of
the drive, is the hall representa-
tive for the drive in Pembroke
West, and Joan Mott '47 for
Pembroke East, Marge Stevens
'47 for Denbigh, Marcia Taff '47

German House representatives
have not yet been chosen.
U. V. A. P.
The final registration evening
for U.V.A.P., provided for late-
comers, infirmary victims and
laboratory recluses last Thurs-
day, proved worthwhile. The
fifty-five students who signed
up swell U.V.A.P.'s number to
a little over 400.
Goodhart, October 16. In the first
of the Anna Howard Shaw mem-
orial lectures on Soda] Security in
an Expanding Economy, Dr. Eve-
line Burns discussed policy and
problems of full employment.
There is at present, Dr. Bums
explained, a widespread desire for
economic security. "What is new
in this demand," she said, "is the
demand that security take the
form of full employment." Public
opinion today demands full em-
ployment and opposes strongly any
return to the dole.
Reemployment
Dr. Burns stated that she be-
lieves the optimism which has
been rather general about how
easily full post-war reemployment
will be obtained is not justified.
Although accumulated savings and
an expanded foreign market may
facilitate reemployment during the
next two years, the problems will
become more acute in three or
four years.
"I doubt," stated Dr. Burns, "if
the job of obtaining full employ-
ment will be done unless the na-
tion takes the job more seriously
than it has previously done and
realizes it presents 'a challenge
almost as grave as the challenge
of war*."
There are several developments
in economic science, however,
which give hope for success, Dr.
Burns had previously pointed out.
Since the last war there has been
a change of focus and a much
deeper understanding of the form
of our economy. Clarification of
the relationships of the component
part of our economy is another en-

Vogue Prix de Paris
Common Room, October 16. The
opportunity of entering the Vogue
Prix de Paris contest has once
again been offered to the Senior
class. Mary Moon Hemingway,
representative of the Conde Nast
publications, discussed the quali-
fications for entrance in this*con-
test and the fields that are partic-
ularly promising this year.
Mrs. Hemingway explained that
the opportunities offered in this
contest are innumerable since not
only the winners profit by it, but
also those receiving honorable
mention. The first prize is a year's
job on the editorial staff of Vogue;
second prize is a six months' job
on the staff. In addition, there are
ten awards of merit from which
top ranking contestants will be
considered for jobs on the other
Conde Nast publications.
Those Seniors considering the
contest should be interested in
copwriting, photography, merchan-
dising, advertising, designing, and
interior decorating. There are four
short quizzes of two questions each
and a fiften hundred word article,
all of which will be timed so as not
to interfere with the college sched-
ule.
The contestants may enter at
any time up to June 20 and are
urged to do so since, as Mrs. Hem-
ingway pointed out, Vogue's need
for talent is great, due to the great
tap the war has made on the staff.
